<p>Its never too late.  Fix the problem with the track.  Willing to bet if you run 85' passenger cars over that hump they wont stay coupled.  Even if it means removing and relaying a section it is better to fix the underlying problem earlier than later.  Use Isopropyl alcohol and shop vac to remove the ballast (if you want to salvage it use a sock over the end of the shop vac to collect the ballast.) Next remove the track.  Using a sanding block sand down the roadbed until hump is gone.  Re-install track.  Test all locomotives And long rolling stock.  Ballast track, allow to dry. Test all locomotives and long rolling stock.</p>
